When 50 Cent was infamously shot nine times in May 2000, his violent reality was just too much for his first label, Columbia Records, so they dropped him. This past June, G-Unit's newest signee Kidd Kidd was shot six times in his native New Orleans, but instead of backing out of the deal, it drew 50 closer to the youngster.
"Them boys down in New Orleans, they're active," 50 told MTV News. "It's a lot goin' on down there, and because I experienced it, I didn't move away from it. I actually ID'd with the situation a little more. He got hit six times, he got a bag on now," 50 said as Kidd Kidd lifted his shirt to reveal a colostomy bag on the set of Tony Yayo's "Haters" video.
"Columbia, when that situation took place with me, they walked away from me just because they're not familiar with the actual environment and what happens at different points," he continued. "It don't make me no difference: I understand it."
Kidd got his start as a part of Lil Wayne's Young Money camp and even appeared as a guest on Tha Carter III single "Mrs. Officer." Now that he is with G-Unit, the NOLA spitter has since collaborated with Fif on his own single "Better Walk" as well as the title track of 50's upcoming album.
"It's a blessing getting down with Fif. It's real, it's all love," Kidd said. "There ain't too many real people in the industry, period. I've been around a lot, and right now it's time. I never felt like this before."
